Today, I lost a man who really taught me how to box. He helped me in so many ways about the art of hit and not getting hit. I will surely miss the man who took his time and molded me into the champion I became... so to my mentor Emile Alphonse Griffith RIP my coach, I will miss you.-- Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, former WBA light heavyweight champion, on the death of Emile Griffith (source: facebook)
